I was doing the wood and stick thing a few years back, but just when I thought it was good enough, the wood would start to deteriorate. Then I had to start all over again. I love the way wooden frames look. They look more natural, but they don't last forever and I seem to be getting lazier and lazier as I get older. PVC does not look as cool, but I don't have to think about replacing them every few years, so it's good enough in my book :-)
